Schliemann is a lunar impact crater on the far side of the Moon. It is located just to the northwest of the somewhat larger Ventris crater, and to the northeast of the prominent Chaplygin crater. Further to the northeast of Schliemann is the large Mandel'shtam crater.
This crater has undergone a moderate amount of impact erosion, although no significant craters lie across the rim. The interior floor is marked by several small craterlets that form an arcing group in the southern half of the crater. There is also a small craterlet near the northern inner wall.
[edit] Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Schliemann crater.
